Multiway Boulevards: Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow*

This session explores the many dimensions of multiway boulevards, from their early history, evolution, adaptation, and fall into disfavor in American cities to their rediscovered appropriateness today as complex, multi-modal places. Three new multiway boulevards designed by Cityworks—including San Francisco’s recently completed, freeway-replacing Octavia Boulevard—will catalyze an exploration of essential design elements and challenges, implementation strategies and variations, and lessons learned.
